Memory Management Settings

The memory on this machine stores registered information for Address Book and password information for Address Book. Therefore, it is necessary to manage the data in the memory with strong security measures.
With the machine equipped with functions such as data encryption and data erase, you can manage the data and prevent information leakage to retain security and confidentiality.
IMPORTANT
The security provided by TPM does not guarantee complete protection of the data and hardware. Note that Canon will not be liable for any failure or damages resulting from the use of this mode.

Memory Data Erase
For information on the optional products required to use this function, see "Optional Products Required for Each Function."
The machine separates and stores the job data when copying, sending, receiving, and printing into management information and actual data. The management information is automatically erased when the job is complete, but the actual data is stored in the memory.
You can completely erase all of the actual data in the memory of the machine by overwriting the 0 data or random data. This is effective in preventing data leakage when replacing or disposing the memory. For more information, see "Completely Erasing Unnecessary Data from the Memory."
Initializing Stored Files and Registered Information
You can erase (initialize) data stored in the machine such as stored files, registered information of the Address Book, and job history. (See "Initializing All Data/Settings.")
HDD Data Encryption
For information on the optional products required to use this function, see "Optional Products Required for Each Function."
You can encrypt data stored in the hard disk such as registered information in the Address Book, job data, and PIN information, preventing confidential information leakage from the hard disk. For more information, see the manual for the HDD Data Encryption Kit.
TPM Settings
You can encrypt the password and certificate information managed in the memory using the TPM Settings mode. (See "TPM Settings.")
